It’s amazing what we can learn from the Freedom of Information Act. Like that one time in 1961 when the U.S. Air Force almost detonated an atomic bomb over North Carolina.That’s right, with a devastating shock wave 260 times more powerful than what decimated Hiroshima in 1945, two Mark 39 hydrogen bombs nearly razed Goldsboro, North Carolina and any life remotely close by over 50 years ago.Due to a B-52 bomber that went into a tailspin shortly after launch, the entire east coast suddenly became sitting ducks to the lethal fallout of nearly four million tons of TNT, from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and as far north as New York City. The truly frightening part is that everything worked nearly perfectly after the bomber crumbled. One of the bombs began its descent, opening its parachutes and activating its trigger mechanisms.
if it took out NC almost worth it, did Kennedy have anything to do with it sarc/ he did have that other close call with the bay of pigs.
Literally millions of lives were saved when thankfully one safety mechanism was initiated. As it turned out, the other three failed to work properly, possibly allowing for an unintended detonation. The bomb hit the ground, and a firing signal was sent to the bomb’s nuclear core, making that one switch the only thing stopping near apocalyptic conditions.
we go through life mostly blind to what was just around that proverbial corner. they say what you don't know can't hurt you, i bet $10,000 dollars it can. that works on several levels, like those right wing voters who were promised jobs by republicans 2010 which brought in a butt load of T-Per's, and what happened nothing they blocked Pres. American Jobs Act and like health care had nothing to replace it.
and now they rail against the Pres. because of low job advancement. this is a good time for Amazing Grace "i was blind but now i see" 2014
